Its got voltage across the coil. Its got spark. Ive put it up on facebook marketplace, will break if theres enough interest (mainly the engine)

Would that stop it running?

No, Ive come home for easter. Will give it a crack. The garage who had it took the coil out and put it in upside down. When I flipped it I noticed it was only connected to 4 wires, and Im certain there were 5 before. Ive looked at the wiring diagram and I cant work out which wires they are...

No. A couple of mates and I have bought a tiny Daihatsu Cuore to do the mongol rally in, so that will be the steed of choice. I just want the disco fixed so I can sell it.

The ECU is working, at least to some degree, because theres power to the idle control valve. Ive noticed that the garage have put the coil in upside down. Theres spark, so its working somewhat. Other than making the spark, does the coil serve any other function?

Is this the same wire that does the revcounter? The rev counter was playing up and then stopped working a while ago

Right, bypassed half the loom to hardwire the fuel pump, so now there is plenty of fuel pressure. Tested the voltage for the injectors and its 0.1v at best, so they arent opening. Any ideas? Thanks

Firing order is correct, spark is working, timing isnt out, will not run on EZ start. Fuel relay pins all showing about 1v iirc. Its been 3 months since its moved under its own power. I just want it to drive... The petrol might be off

Its not the pump thats the problem. Well it is, but its not the main problem. The issue with the pump is that its getting 9v instead of 12v, but when given 12v it still isnt running. Will check the relays and the ECU too, just in case. Even will ample fuel pressure at the rail, it isnt firing...

Okay, heres what my mate whos helping me has said. "The first thing we noticed was that the fuel pump isn't running So multi meter on the pins. Getting about 9v at the fuel pump. (Is this correct?) Tested the fuel pump with a 12v sourge direct to the pins, and the fuel pump runs. Therefore...

Right, did a proper bodge to try and get it to run. Recharged the battery, hard wired the fuel pump to another battery. Lots of fuel pressure, turns over but doesnt run. Spark is working as it should (but timing is out) I guess the fuel injectors arent opening, so ECU?

Thanks. Ive had a look and theres no fuel pressure and the fuel pump isnt making a sound. Started to unscrew the fuel pump, but the last screw is rusted solid and Ive not got a drill. Soaked it in WD40 and will try again tomorrow. The fuse isnt blown, so either the pump is dead, or theres some...

Finally got it back from the garage with a battery flatter than the netherlands. It took over a day to recharge it, dropped the battery in and it turns over but doesnt start. Garage told me theyve fixed the spark, but now it wont fuel. Ill check the fuel pressure and see if it runs on EZ start...

Can someone confirm the correct part number for the ignition amp? Or even better, a link to the correct item on ebay/etc? They seem pretty cheap so Ill just replace it Thanks!

Superb, thanks. Ill ask for my old bits, bit if not then those bits seem cheap enough

Even better, how do I bodge the ignition amp and drive it away?

Well Im going today to pay the bill and push it out of their yard so I can get it on the weekend. Thankfully theyve decided not to charge me any labour, so just for the sparkplugs, which is kind of them. So, has anyone got any useful links to what all the wires should be doing? Ill start by...

Ide love to fix it right infront of them and drive it away. Ive got a multimeter, so Ill test everything. I suspected one or more of the wires feeding into the coil, personally.

They litterally said "Yeah we've given up on it mate"

Agree completely. Started by changing plugs, really? All 8 of them have failed and it wont start? Im in 2 minds about paying them. On one hand theyve spent many hours on it and changed a few things, on the other hand, customers pay garages for the service of fixing cars, which they havnt done...
